Sermones ad heremitas
A bookplate printed in Venice by Paganinus de Paganinis, a late fifteenth or early sixteenth century edition of sermons attributed to Pseudo-Augustine, intended for hermits and read in Latin. The picture is an ex libris engraving, not a page of the text: a bust portrait of a man in a suit and glasses sits in an oval frame lettered 'Americana Mexicana Canadiana Hispanobiblia' above a scrolled cartouche reading 'Sol Cisen'. A designer could take its oval medallion, banner lettering and ornate scroll border as a model for a personal monogram or label.
